Vancouver is a clear leader, with a score of 8.1 out of 10, withToronto and Montrealclose behind. While these cities are leading the fight against climate change and should provide inspiration to all Canadian municipalities, every city has room for improvement.

First they came…

First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
